Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1887-07-27

New YORK, July 23.-Elsie G. Martin, a
passenger on the steamship Oregon when
that vessel sunk near Fire Island on the
morning of March IA, 1886, brought suit
for SIS, 900 against the Cunard Company
for damage to her person and loss OF
property. The company replies that it
has operated it's line at pecunlary loss
for several years, and asks the united
States Court for q limitation of the liabil-
ity for damage resulting from casualty.
The petitioners claim that the accident was
altogether du. to the carelessness OF an
unknown vessel" which, it is alleged, ran
into the Oregon, and declares that nothing
was saved except ten boats and rats: on
which the company paid $3.50. !he
petitioners, desiring to claim the
benefit of the limit OF liab'l-
ity as provided by sections
4.233 and 4,286 of the revised statutes are
willing to pay into the court the value o1
their interest in ten boats and RATS, the
remnants of the wreck, less the $3.50 paid.
Thev then ask this amount when regularly
anpraised to be distributed among the per.
sons claiming injury by the accident, and
that all persons shall be restrained from
bringing other suits as a result OF the dlsas
ter. The statute referred to says the the
liability of any owner OF a vessel Tor loss OF
destruction OF any article, matter or thint
lost without privity or knowledge OF IN,
owner shall in no case exceed the amour
of the value of the interest OF such owner II

The Commons Still Struggling to Settle the
Perplexing Questions Of the Day.
LONDON, July 25.-1n the Commons this
evening Morley asked what had happened
to explain the proclamation of the whole
of Ireland since the government had as
sured the House that law was as well
obeyed in some parts Of Ireland as in any
parts of Great Britain. Balfour replied
that he had no reason to change his opin-
ion that parts OF Ireland we're as quiet as
parts of England. What the government
had done was not to apply the whole
crimes act to Ireland generally, but only
sub-sections dealing with riotiDg, unlawful
assemblies and obstruction policy.
SEXTON ASKED
whether the executive before issuing the
proclamation distinguished the counties
where it was necessary to prevent crime
from thsse where it was necessary to pun
ish crime. Balfour said that in every case
each county had been specially proclaimed.
The proclamation had been issued because
the government believed in the actual ex.
istence OF crime or intimidation. The
House then went into committee on the
land bill. Upon taking up the first clause.
relating to leases, benefits of the act oi
1881.
PARNELL PROPOSED AN AMENDMENT.
The bill as it stands gives an option to
the tenant or landlord to make applica
ton to the court to fix the rent. Parnel
urged that the tenant alone should have
the right to apply the period OF such ap
plication to be limited to three years. Bal
four accepted the amendment with th'
limit of two years. Parnell agreed.
Parnell proposed to extend the operation
| of the clause to all leases except tn il
/ perpetuity. Negatived 1875 to 142 ayes
The government amendment extending tn
term to 80 years was agreed upon.

Excitement In Texas.

Great excitement has been caused In the
vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the remarkable
recovery of Mr.. }. f. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn In bed, or raise
his head; everybody said he was dying of
consumption. A trial bottle of DR.. h ing's
New Discovery was sent him. Finding
relief, he bought large bottle and box
of DR.. Kings New Life Pills; by the time
he had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, he was well and
had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.

Grafton by another year, thus rapidly
facilitating the work and enormously
increasing its profits. A large part Of
the gold is necessarily lost under the
present system, which requires that
the water be used over and over, until
it becomes SO thick with clay and sand
that it cannot readily free the metal.
There are many other mines in the
vicinity which hope to visit before re-
turning to Portland but have seen
enough already to convince me that
the extent and richness Of this mineral
region cannot be over. estimated. Tho
only wonder is that hitherto it has
been 30 little known outside of its
own limits.
EXTENT OF THE BELT.
The Gold Belt proper, which reaches
from Rocky Bar to Resurrection Dis.
trict, is about 80 miles in length and
from 4 to 20 miles in width. There
are three main lodges running paral-
lei to each other, and their groupings
are often so well-defined that they can
be traced mile after mile upon the
surface of the mountain sides. The
whole region is peculiarly formed for
the construction of convenient railway
lines. Although so mountainous az
to present, from almost any point Of
observation, the appearance of a heav-
ing and distorted ocean that in the
long ago was suddenly CONCEALED by
action from without while writh,ng
with internal pain the indentations in
the mountains are SO frequent, and
their natural grades so gradual, as to
leave little margin for the exercise Of
modern engineering.
CALL TO PORTLAND.
With the exception OF Rocky Bar
and Atlanta, all the country within
the boundaries Of Alturas county has
been settled less than half a dozen
years. With very little assistance
from outside capital, it has been
obliged to depend upon its own re-.
sources for development until a com.
psratively recent period. Now, how.
ever, it is attracting capital from Lon
don, New York, Chicago, St. Louis
and San Francisco, with Portland vet
to be heard from. And, with Port.
land conveniently connected as she
now is with all this country by the
Oregon Short Line and its nches,
| see no reason why she should not
reach out at once after this mighty
district and make herself the market
for its ores.
CANVAS PRAIRIE.
The future Of Idaho does not de-
pend by any means upon her mines
alone. There is probably no better
tock-raising country in the world
and, as for agriculture, you have only,
as I have before stated, to give the
deserts water and they will yield enor-
mously in fruits, vegetables, hay and
cereals. But the arabic land IS no,
all desert or sage land. On Camas
Prairie alone, which is sink in the
mountains situated about Is miles
west of Haley, there is room for a,
least 1000 families. This prairie is
about so miles long, and from 10 to
20 miles wide. The soil is a rich
black loan, wonderfully fertile, which
will produce everything that can be
raised in the Willamette valley.

Red and Alsike Clovers.

Enquirer" Efin CHAM Co., ILL.,; l
How long will red clover last proftably,
when first and second crops are remov-
ed? 2. j. Butler in Jan 8 issue fails to
speak of one weak point in alsike clover,
judging from my experience and obser-
walton, viz: it lodges badly, the stalks
are fine and slender, and tumble and
tangle up in every direction, making it
very aggravating to cut. l endorse
what he says about its quality. Grow
ing side by side with medium red it
does not yield nearly as much with me.
(REPLY.)
Cd Red clover is classed by botan-
lists as short-lived perennial. 1t is
virtually biennial in this latitude, dy.
ing out after perfecting its seed the
second year. If these are allowed to
scatter, they re-seed the ground, and
keep up a successive growth for many
years. But for agricultural purposes it
lasts only two years.-(2) The "weak
point" in alsike is mentioned in Prairie
Farmer Of Jan. 20, by Mr.. Baldriege,
who adds that it should never be sown
alone, but with other clover or grass, to
furnish support for the slender stems of
the alsike. 1t is true that alsike will
not yield as heavily as red clover, on
soil adapted to the latter. But alsike
does we'll on some soils which will not
bear red clover; it lasts for many years,
and does not heave out by frost. Every
farmer should choose the kind best
adapted to his locality and wants.-Praa-

two facts. One is that the National
Veterinary Association in session at
Chicago last November adopted the fol
lowing preambly and resolutions:
Nv MISUNDERSTANDING is practis-

for general adoption; and
WHEREAs-The experience of 9TH

and
"WHEREAs-The veterinary profess
sion ofEurope condemns incubation ex-
cept in localities that are thoroughly
infected and where no effort is being
made to extirpate the plague; therefore,
be it
"Resolued-That, considering the
limited territory infected in this coun-
try, every effort should be directed to
the thorough eradication of this disease

"Resolved-That we consider inocu

Objectionable practice in the present
condition of affairs in this country, and
one which should be discouraged by
the veterinary profession, and prohibit

ity of stamping out the disease"
The other fact is that that very i'm
